  1. 7 out of 10

    Probably the best version of the Rising series. It's exactly the same mechanics as the other but the Death Star looms more in the background as many threats, the artwork is the best in the series and its more challenging. Really fun if you are also into the Rebels series as it blends that series in with Rogue One and a New Hope.

  2. 10 out of 10

    Very accessible to all ages, the cooperative play of this games allows adults to play together or help a younger person play. Super fun and easy to understand game mechanic. I love this game!

  3. 7.2 out of 10

    A cooperative game especially for Star Wars fans. The cards feature nice illustrations of characters from the Rebels, Rogue One and New Hope, all dominated by a figure of Darth Vader. The main mechanism of the game is the roll of the dice, but luck can be a little bit against it with a well-chosen strategy when choosing characters. Of course, when it doesn't roll, nothing helps and the game takes a quick ending. It is true that the more players, the game is harder . It is best played as two players or as a solo game per two characters. At three players the difficulty is a bit higher and at four players the game is almost unwinnable. But if you don't mind a lot of randomness in games, like to roll dice and love Star Wars, this is the game for you.

Star Wars: Dark Side Rising is a co-operative card and dice game inspired by the events leading up to and through Star Wars: A New Hope.

In the game, players must work together to recruit rebels and prevent the construction of the ultimate weapon, the original Death Star. Each player starts with an individual board that indicates the Rebel cell they are leading: Intelligence, Leadership, Support or Tactical. The player boards depict the Base of Operations — Tatooine, Alderaan, Yavin 4, or Lothal — and team leader (starting character asset) for each player: Captain Cassian Andor, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Hera Syndulla.

Players must coordinate efforts to recruit iconic characters, such as C-3PO, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Admiral Raddus and Han Solo, and organize their cells to thwart the Empire’s rise to galactic domination.

The main game board features a custom-sculpted 3D Darth Vader bust that commands the Imperial operatives and actions with orders to wipe out the Rebels and to make the Death Star operational. Meanwhile, in a race against time, players must be one with the Force as they direct their Rebel efforts across different locations in the galaxy, including Scarif, Eadu and Jedha. To restore freedom to the galaxy, the Rebels must defeat enough sinister agents before the Empire can either complete construction of the lethal space station or eliminate too many Rebel assets.

Star Wars: Dark Side Rising will be available only in European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) regions due to licensing restrictions.

Star Wars: Dark Side Rising is designed for two to four players ages 10 and up with an estimated runtime of 45 minutes. The cooperative game includes:

1 custom-sculpted Darth Vader bust
1 Death Star board with 6 components
51 asset cards
4 Base of Operations / Rebel cell player boards
17 custom-sculpted dice
